FAKE YOUR OWN DEATH

"Fake Your Own Death, the San Francisco post-punk and noise rock ensemble, took the 7pm stage at Noise Pop’s Bender’s Bar Happy Hour this past February with the kind of veteran resolve that quietly mumbles, “Maybe you overlooked us, buddy.” In about a 30-minute set, they had the entire patronage jumping, kicking, pushing in on the rumble, reacting to the irresistible melodies, and hanging on to every no-wave reference."
-48 Hills

You don’t have to actually die to start over, but you might have to pretend to.  

Described as "stories about misfits and the collapse of meaning, then there’s layers of reverb and infectious beats to create an alluring patchwork of uneasiness and romantic nostalgia.”

FYOD has played with bands like Gang of Four, The Warlocks, Blood Red Shoes, Film School, White Denim, Bob Mould, !!!, Creeper Lagoon, Trail of the Dead, and The Kills.

And Even More:
"First up was Fake Your Own Death. What surprised me about them, then, is how good they are. Their songs are really good, like if Interpol decided to play faster and have some hard rock riffs. The vocals had a tinge of early Elvis Costello." (Spinning Platters) 

" I couldn't have been more impressed with Fake Your Own Death. The music is a mix of Joy Division, Love and Rockets and The National with brief moments of Interpol thrown in. They debuted songs from their forthcoming album to a sizable crowd which was really great to see... I haven't been this excited about a local group in quite some time. Get to know them." (Front Porch Musings)      

“Fake Your Own Death's music is dark and dense. It's indie rock with a bit of post-punk terrible.” (SF Gate)

“The Wake accelerates past the raw spareness of their debut EP, Cut, speeding deeper into the complex literary darkness that's become Terry's home territory.” (Boing Boing)

“Couldn't be more excited about the band Fake Your Own Death which began when Ashkinos was in Berlin studying the fall of communism with the aid of the US government. Ashkinos' booming, sometimes droning voice leads the way to create outstanding dark moments throughout.”
 (Bay Area Bridged)

Today sees the release of the new EP shortestpoemhatestolose, a vibrant and dynamic post-punk/darkwave offering with touches of goth, noise rock, and indie rock thrown into the mix. (Rebel Noise)

Where the Music Meets

Braintheft are a live dub duo from Dublin, based in Berlin, bringing their unique blend of modular synthesizers and live drums to the world stage. The duo have developed a sound that is deeply rooted in dub, while also incorporating elements of techno, D'n'B, and trip-hop. Their music is characterised by the intricate interplay between modular synthesizers and live drums, creating a sound that is both powerful and hypnotic.

In a world where electronic music can sometimes feel sterile and formulaic, Braintheft bring a rawness and authenticity to their music that sets them apart. 
Whether performing on stage or in the studio, this duo is constantly pushing themselves to evolve their sound and explore new sonic territories. There are no rules, but Briantheft break them anyway!

Be Rich (formerly Vicious Bitch), is home to a wide selection of dance, electronica and hip hop, and has a slight alternative edge to parent label Vicious. Headed up by A&R manager Guy Lewis, the label delves into bass sounds, hip hop, slower electronica and of course bass heavy, funky-ass house music.

Left for dead in the wasteland of the City Of Angels, Dave Dramedy was forced to walk the musical landscape alone. Left to his own devices, he stripped his songs down to the musical bone, baring the raw emotion birthed from the raw deal. Shedding his former identity, Dave Dramedy — armed with his voice and six-string — seeks to spread his songs of lost love and broken hearts. Constant reminders of his former life… and maybe yours.
